break. lie was known to be poor
man. Lieutenant Filoff, who was
one of the principal leaders of the
rising at Rustchuk, has died of his
wounds.
The Sofia correspondent of the
Times telegraphs that NM. Kara
veloff, Tzanow, and Nikiforoff have
been released on bail, the first
named under sureties of 15,000fr.
and the other two of l0,000fr. each.
Mr.. Karaveloff's completely in the
late Instructions is no longer doubt
full, and these events have thrown a
strong light on his conduct and that
of M. Nikiroff in the plot against
Prince Alexander. NJ. Karaveloff
has shown himself to be deep and
crafty traitor, and he inspires even
more repulsion than NJ. Zankoff, for
he pretended to be very good friends
with some members of the Govern
ment. Among the letters of Bende-
ref which have been seized is one
which states explicitly that the Rus
sian Government was promoting the
projected revolution, and it desig-
mates the dragoman of the Russian
Consulate at Widdin as the conf
dental agent with whom The con-
spirators were to communicate.
A Bucharest telegram states that
there have been some heartrendlng
scenes at the Russian Legation. The
widows of rebels killed or executed
at Rustchuk have come to implore
Nj. Hitrovo to give them money.
Many had crying children with
them. These wretched people are
quite destitute, and they excite
everybody's compassion.
The Russian Captain Bollmann,
who is at Bucharest, is fast recover
ing from his wound. A bullet pass
ed through the flesh of his left
shoulder, and killed a man behind
him. Some further arrests are re-
ported from Rustchuk. Public
opinion in the town continues much
excited against the Russians, and it
has now become quite clear that all
that can come to the Regency will
be from the army.
Intelligence received at Vienna
from Odessa states that Captain
Bendereff, Majors Grueff and Ivan
hoff, and the widow of Major Kards-
chef, who was executed at Rust
chuk, have arrived there, and met
with n sympathetic reception from
the local Slav Society.
1t is stated in well-informed cir.
Giles in Vienna that no Note has
been addressed by the Russian Gov
eminent to the Powers protesting
against the recent executions at
Rustchuk, and that Russia has
taken no further diplomatic steps
since the despatch Of instructions
to her representatives abroad to ask
the European Cabinets to exercise
moderating influence at Sofia.
An authentic account of the re-
cent revolts in Bulgaria is sent from
Sofia to the Political Corrcspond-
ence. The Bulgarian Government
knew of the inteded movement sew
eral months before it took place,
and of all the proceedings of the
Revolutionary Committee in Buchar-
est. The Committee sent circulars
to all the officers Of the Bulgarian
garrisons, urging them to revolt.
Bendereff signed all these letters,
which promised rapid advancement
to those who helped, and threatened
with death all who remained loyal
to the Regency. Most of the letters
contained several hundred roubles,
and some of the officers were invited
to join the Revolutionary Committee
at Bucharest, where they could live
at the Committee s expense until the
plot was carried out. Most of the
letters were sent by those who re-
ceived them to the War Minister,
who paid them into the public
treasury. Some of the letters will
shortly be published. They are
said TO show that the Russian Minis
ter at Bucharest paid all the ex-
pense of the revolt, and gave pass
ports and letters of recommendation
to Odessa officers. Private persons
kept tie Regency so well informed
of all this that it knew of the Silis-
TRAN commanders secret meetings
with Bendcreff, it knew of Ozoun-
offs correspondence with the Com
mittce at Bucharest, and even had
one of his letters. A telegraph
official having sent to Sofia news of
the revolt IN Slistria on the 2Sth
ult., the Government gave orders to
the commanders of Varna, Schumla,
Rasgrad, and Rustchuk to march
there. They reached Silistria on
March 2. The rebel commander
was warned of their approach, an d
